	Commentary	"... and driving the two into the middle they began to lay on with great...". Don Quixote and Sancho surrounded and beaten by yangüeses. Remarkable variety of figures, gestures and expressions; scene with well-resolved movement. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects.
	Notes	1 – Reproduction of the original sketch (Chinese ink and gouache white). Jiménez Aranda meant to paint a more-finished drawing after this sketch using natural sceneries and real models, but he died before completing the project. 2 - "... refriega de Don Quijote y Sancho con los veinte yangüeses, que acaban por rodearlos y apalearlos, siendo este cuadro de los tratados con más espíritu y riqueza de invención" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIV).
